Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [Glance][Artifacts] Current status of Glance 
artifacts

Hi! Thank you for your interest in Glare. I'm leading this project and I'll try 
to answer your questions :)

Glare is a new service under Glance repo which previously was called Glance v3, 
now it's experimental Glare v0.1 api. It has a devstack support, so you can 
deploy it with setting ENABLED_SERVICES=g-glare in your localrc file. At the 
moment only Murano uses v0.1 as an optional backend for its packages, but in 
common case it's not recommended for real deployments.

While we were working on the service we got a lot of advice and suggestions 
from community and API-WG about how we can improve our api. We collected them 
all and started implementing stable Glare api - v1 [1]. Currently stable Glare 
is under active development, skeleton is almost here [2] and I think we can 
organize public POC demo next week (it will be announced later on Friday). More 
details and functionality will be presented on Newton summit.

Our plan is stabilize Glare as much as possible and merge it in Newton. Then in 
Ocata add Glare's v1 support in Nova and other services like Heat, Sahara, App 
Catalog, Tacker, Murano, Mistral and so on.
If you have any other questions you can ask here or visit our weekly irc 
meeting on Monday at 1730 UTC in #openstack-meeting-alt [3].
Best regards,
Mikhail Fedosin

Hi all,

I have some questions around the current status of Artifacts (Glare) in Glance.

1. From briefly poking around, I found [1] to be the most current BP for 
implementing artifacts. I see few work items like declarative definitions of 
artifact types, adding database layer, plugins loader etc (I assume all the 
work items which makes this feature alive) have already been merged. But for 
other patches like [2] which is meant for adding Glare client has been on hold 
until there is a better understanding of Glare APIs. I also see from Mitaka 
mid-cycle meetup [3] that there were few artifact tasks which were missed out 
for Mitaka and some more Glare API discussions planned targeting Newton.
Where can I find the *exact* list of work items and their ETAs?

2. Is it production ready? Is there any service using artifacts right now?
I did see a response to this question here [4] where Alexander mentioned that 
"Murano stores its packages in Glance since the Liberty release. There is a 
plan to create a plugin for Heat packages, but the Heat team has decided to 
wait till the API is stable (this should happen during the Mitaka cycle)". How 
stable are these APIs now as we are approaching the end of Mitaka cycle?

Sorry for being naïve since I am just a day old to Glare :)

Thanks,
Deepti
